The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in India has released guidelines for funding testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional support under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The scheme, with a budget of Rs 200 crore until 2025-26, aims to address gaps in testing facilities for green hydrogen and its derivatives along the value chain. It will facilitate the creation of new facilities and upgrades to ensure secure operations. The National Institute of Solar Energy will lead the implementation. The mission, launched in January 2023 with substantial funding until 2029-30, seeks to propel India towards self-reliance through clean energy while fostering decarbonization, reducing fossil fuel dependence, and positioning India as a leader in green hydrogen technology and markets.
